Hello to all and happy April! 
Stopping by to see all the lovely beauties and say hello
I also thought I'd share a couple of my Big Sur nephrite pieces. Big Sur isn't as commercially valuable as other types of jade, but I personally feel that Big Sur is an underrated stand-out in jade color variation and texture. It's extracted in very small quantities so it can be kind of scarce. Had I known then what I know now, I would've sought it out more years ago. Anyway...
This Big Sur bangle is one of my first ever jade purchases. I picked it up at a California jade fair in back in '96. Most of my Big Sur is from California jade fairs. Although the vast majority of my jade collection is Siberian nephrite, my Big Sur pieces are near and dear to me.
Another Big Sur. I love the rich green hues of this bangle. I tried to capture the color/texture but I'm not good at it. I also have a pendant and earrings to match, but I am too lazy right now to dig them out (terrible, I know). I'll try to post them soon.
Here's another pic of this bangle with brighter lighting, I tried to show the texture and color better...
Big Sur beaded bracelet - another of my early finds.
Oh and finally, this is what I'm wearing today - jadeite bangle/beads I came by these many years ago while on a visit to San Francisco. Thanks for letting me share!

What a great collection! That carved one is especially lovely.
Thanks Dingobeast!! I honestly don't have much jadeite, but I do pick up a few pieces I like here and there. I love your name, btw
, it was actually nice to see your namesake pictured a couple times on this thread!

He/she looks very regal and loveable. I wish I could send a digital "pat". My husband isn't really into pets so we don't have any
Thanks for sending this - it brightened my day
